(Get the code!)
Ok, I'd like to chime in here a moment, this whole not being able to throw my mouse into the corner is amazing asinine, this is a behavior that I have come to know and love for YEARS now with GNOME, and it's gone without even the option to set it back. Sure there are some themes that still enable this but only if the sizing of the buttons and the overall titlebar is right in that specific metacity theme!
Might I make a suggestion since we are in fact moving toward a "unity" or "gnome-shell" type interface in the future (regardless of the fact that gnome-panel works just fine). There should be a close and possibly minimize and maximize buttons in the corner of these interfaces. Personally, I use .desktop files that point to wmctrl scripts and use the images for close and maximize buttons of the Ambiance metacity theme. I put the close shortcut icon all the way in the corner of the panel and the maximize button right next to it. Works great for me. . .
If you want to play with them:
sudo apt-get install wmctrl
chmod +x maximizebutton closebutton
At the very least if we ARE in fact going to go to one of these "unity" or "gnome-shell" nonsense UI's, please allow me the ability to put standard.desktop files on em? Or is that too much to ask?
